_hjTLDTest cookie
Set by Hotjar.
What it does
When the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed.

Consent
_hjTLDTest is in the Functional category. Functional cookies usually need the visitor's consent, unless the cookie is strictly necessary for something the visitor asked for, such as remembering a language they just chose.
- GDPR and ePrivacy (EU)
- Consent is needed before setting _hjTLDTest, unless it is strictly necessary for a feature the visitor asked for, such as remembering a language they just chose.
- UK GDPR and PECR
- The same as in the EU: consent first, unless the cookie qualifies for the strictly necessary exemption.
- CCPA and CPRA (California)
- Disclose _hjTLDTest in your privacy policy. If the data it stores is shared with third parties, honour opt-out requests, including the Global Privacy Control signal.
Managing _hjTLDTest with a consent banner
A consent banner can keep the script that sets _hjTLDTest waiting until the visitor accepts functional cookies. Kukie.io's cookie scanner finds _hjTLDTest and sorts it into a category. The banner holds back known trackers by default, and any other script you tag with its category waits too.
